GLEN TAPIA VS ELCO GARCIA HEADLINES BALLY’S THIS WEEKEND

This Saturday night at Bally’s in Atlantic City,hometown favorite Glen Tapia headlines the card against veteran Elco Garcia.Garcia is 42 years old and has been in the game sixteen years.He has a good chin and should give Tapia a good test considering his experience.Tapia’s career and popularity is gaining steam as the new jersey native is catching the eyes of more fans with each impressive win.Tapia was impressive in his last fight in July when he stopped previously unbeaten Abraham Han on ESPN Friday Night Fights.With each win Tapia is moving closer to a title shot and his fan friendly personality only helps him gain more fans.

Tapia will no doubt pass this test with flying colors Saturday night.While Garcia is a good opponent in that Tapia will be in with someone who has much more experience,he won’t be able to handle the power of Tapia.Garcia has not been knocked out since 2006 but he has been knocked out a few times years ago.With Tapia coming into his prime and Garcia the older fighter,I see Tapia feeling out Garcia a few rounds as Garcia proves to be a slick veteran.But by the mid rounds Tapia will have him timed and start unloading and give Garcia his first knockout loss in seven years.Glen Tapia is a future world champion who is slowly,methodically and most important smartly climbing the ladder towards a world title shot.At this time next year there is no doubt will will be talking about Tapia facing someone likes of Austin Trout,Miguel Cotto or Canelo hopefully for a world title.

PREDICTION: TAPIA BY 7TH ROUND KO
